Former Girls' British School

The Former Girls' British School, originally known as the "Old Meeting," was built in 1704 and altered in 1872 to serve as a girls' school. This notable plain building is similar in style to Lord Weymouth's School located in Church Street. The structure has two storeys and is constructed of red brick set on a coursed and squared rubble base, featuring stone quoins and dressings around two-light stone mullion windows. The roof is M-section hipped, covered with old tiles and has sprocket eaves. There is a band over the ground floor, with five windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, all featuring brick flat arches.

A projecting central gabled porch, added around 1872, has moulded footstones at the coped verge and a moulded entrance with a four-centred arch. The east side has two large cross stone mullions and transom windows, along with a blocked doorway. Inside, the roof is supported by two polygonal timber columns of substantial size. In front of the building, there is a dwarf wall with spearhead railings, dating from around 1872, where the standards have four quills on the caps.
